Well, the holiday season is finally here again! And since we had SO much fun last year- sharing images of our homes all decorated for the holidays - let's do it again. For those of you who have been long-time readers, you'll know how MUCH I love decorating for the holidays. The smell of fresh cedar. The feel of pine sap on my fingers. Maybe some holiday music on the stereo.

Don't fret - you'll get to see what I've been doing at the house this year - but, I really want to see what y'all have been up to . . . So, I'm pleased to announce the second annual" Tartanscot Holiday Decorating Contest! "

There are three categories that you can enter :

1) Christmas Tree ( lights. ornaments. creativity. )

2) Dining Room ( it's one of the best times of the year to entertain. Let's see that dining table! )

3) Fireplace Mantel. ( let your imagination sparkle! )

How to do it:

1) Decorate your home.

2) Take digital photos.

3) Email your images (along with your name and address) to "HolidayContest@SMWDesign.com"

But, don't think it will just be me here - throwing darts at the wall to see who's going to win. Tune in later this week to meet our panel of Celebrity Judges - a collection of designers and bloggers from around the world.

And it's not just for bragging rights - images of the winning entries will be posted here on Tartanscot during Christmas week - and I'll also be announcing our special prizes for the contest later in the week.

Now, for the small print:
